Reply to "351c head gasket"

Hi Jon -

Sometimes the gasket selection depends on if you need to adjust the spacing between the head and the block, usually to obtain the correct compression ratio.

The multi-layer steel (MLS) gaskets generally get a lot of recommendations.

I’m sure that a lot of expert engine builders will chime in here on this topic.

My new engine build used Cometic C58971-056 (.056” thick). I thought that the standard ones (e.g. Fel-Pro) are about .039” thick.... but I am prepared to be corrected.
